    Anyone w/ new dvd's not have a freezing issue?

    I've only done LIC so far. No problems at all w/ my Sony DVD player (about 4 years old) and just a little skip during the Lying Extensions on my cheapie Alba DVD player (£20 at Tesco!) I'm planning on previewing the rest of the workouts this evening, at least those places where freezes/skips...

    YEAH! Got my new DVDs in the UK!!

    I'm so excited! I just this morning got my new DVDs delivered. I hadn't pre-ordered because I wasn't sure where we'd be living (UK or US) when the DVDs shipped out. So, I ended up ordering from Collage Video on Monday and got them today. I'm amazed! I paid $20 extra for UPS Worldwide express...

    12 day break

    Oh, I bet you had a fabulous trip to Russia! We went to Moscow last year and I just loved it. I've taken 2 weeks off from exercising, several times in fact (we travel quite a lot,) and it usually takes me just a couple days to get back into the swing of things. I bet you'll be totally back to...

    Time Article on Midlife Eating Disorders LONG!

    Thanks for sharing this article. I remember watching a TV movie in the 80's about a Mom w/ anorexia - I think it starred Meredith Baxter Birney (the mom from Family Ties.) I think it's something we really need to be aware of, both eating disorders and compulsive exercise disorders.

    "Smells like CTX" rotation using new workouts

    While viewing the clips of the new workouts and reading the descriptions on the website I thougth they'd lend themselves very well to a CTX-like rotation. So here it is! I don't have my DVDs yet, but can't wait to get them and try them out using this rotation. If anyone tries it, let me know how...

    Well, I tinkered around w/ times, etc. last night and came up w/ a rotation that I'm going to try when I get my DVDs (hopefully w/in the next couple weeks!) I'll post it in the Rotation forum.

    OK.... i just have to ask this....

    I agree, I've been astonished at some of the posts on the boards. I know everyone is anxious to receive the orders, especially if they pre-ordered back in Sept. '05. BUT, Cathe & SNM are only human, the packing & shipping crew are only human, the UPS people are only human, and humans sometimes...

    New DVDs look great for a 'Faux CTX' type rotation!

    I just finished watching all the new DVD clips again, and I've also printed out the workout descriptions and premixes from the website. I think these new workouts will work great in a 'faux' CTX rotation that I'm putting together. Body Max has an all step segment, as well as a Power circuit...

    Does anyone have braces????

    I want to get braces! I'm 37, and want to have straight teeth. I'm planning on getting them when we are settled back in the States and I have a good dentist who can recommend a good orthodontist (don't get me started on my dentist here - I'm sure there are good ones, but mine is NOT GOOD!)...

    I am afraid I won't be able to do the new workouts

    Amy, I'm just reading this thread now, but I wanted to respond to you re: electroshock. My mom had EC therapy about 15 years ago - she was in a catatonic depression that was resistant to every med they'd tried (the depression was induced by an upset in her brain chemistry triggered by steroid...

    Is core work making us thick in the middle?

    I don't think so. Back in the early-mid 90's I was a fitness instructor and personal trainer and I did and taught many of the sames moves that are done in "core" work today. I didn't notice my waist getting thicker then, and I don't now - in fact my waist has gotten smaller and more defined...

    Why don't I get a good workout with kickboxing drills?

    RE: Why don't I get a good workout with kickboxing dril... I think knowing and using proper kickboxing form makes a big difference in how much you get out of a kickboxing style workout. You really have to follow through on the punches, turn your hips properly, and use all of your body to propel...

    Are mushrooms considered good source of protein?

    100g of fresh portabella mushrooms contain 26 calories, 0.2 grams fat, 5.1g carbs, 1.5g fiber, and 2.5g protein. Not much protein in there - mostly carbs and fiber.

    Body Max 2 Big Clip is Now Up!

    I just got back from a long weekend in Vienna so just now got to watch this. It's awesome! I love the music, and the workout looks killer, but very fun too. Can't wait to get it! I didn't pre-order because I was worried we'd have moved back to the States before the DVDs shipped. Now I just have...

    Cathe, you owe me a new wardrobe!

    Cathe, since I started working out consistently with your workouts 6 months ago (after doing mostly Tae Bo for a year after several years of inactivity) I have lost almost a whole dress size! I haven't lost many pounds (don't really need to lose much,) but I've lost inches and gained muscle and...

    Drill Max Extended Video Clip is now Up!

    The first time I viewed the clip it was very "stuttery" and froze a couple of times. But the second time viewing was perfect! I have a broadband connection (DSL) and am using a PC w/ Windows XP. I have the current Flash player, too. Great clip - everyone looks like they are working very hard...
